PS4 vs Xbox One vs Wii U - Europe Launch Sales Comparison

"In this second article we will be comparing the aligned launches of the three 8th generation home consoles in Europe. The Wii U launched on November 30, 2012, the Xbox One on November 22, 2013, and the PlayStation 4 on November 29, 2013.

The PlayStation 4 had the biggest opening week in Europe with sales of 681,687. The Xbox One launched with sales of 336,030 and the Wii U with sales of 183,952."

^ Should be easy pickings since PS3 largest month in japan outside of launch window is over 200,000 while Wii U out of launch window is over 100,000. PS4 has done better in every territory life-to-date compared to PS3, so just going by the pattern the PS4 will win easily.

The only place where X1 is close to PS4 is in places where PS4 is sold out (well, that's pretty much everywhere).

The X1 and PS4 are close in North America (although PS4 is still ahead) because X1 has supply, but I don't think it's too bold of a prediction to say that as NA gets more PS4's in, the gap will widen. $100 price difference and 8 straight months of bad PR isn't something you simply shrug off, no matter what Microsoft would like you to believe.

haha gotta agree with you in a way dude. in my honest opinion i think MS is going the wrong way. its going more entertainment than gaming imo, in US it might be better where most of apps and features work but in europe it has half the amount that works. only fanboys will defend the xbone to the point they sound stupid.

i had no intentions of geting a ps4,ibeen xbox since first one they ever made on day 1 but they have slowly gone from gaming to media imo.

1-GAMING 2-MEDIA(BLURAY) 3-APPS/SOCIAL

i have tivo,most people have sky/cable so TV is pointless. if i could plug my cable wire into back then awesome,but not pay for 2 devices to be on.

PS4 is just the King in Europe or I would prefer to say Sony consoles in general. Though, my estimation is that few owners of them are playing PS4 every day as there are no many interesting games at the moment...

One have to take hat off to Sony on how they took an almost dead console (PS3) raised it from the dead, surpasses it competitor (360) and then learned from all mistakes, make a new a amazing console (PS4) and dominates once again.
